OK, it's a quarter after five on a Friday evening, I'm in the office on an interminable conference call that should have finished half an hour ago. About every 10 minutes there's a point that I need to pay attention to. Could somebody pour me a large gin to keep me going while I wait for it to drag itself to a close?

No you didn't blow the whole thing, you just had a wee set back that's all. ;)

Tomorrow is another day, and tomorrow you can tell yourself 'today I'm not going to smoke'

I'm with you all the way on this one, I'm on day 24 and counting.
